Springboard is an online learning platform that prepares students for the tech industry’s most in-demand careers with comprehensive, mentor-led online programs in software engineering, data science, UI/UX design, cybersecurity, tech sales, and more. All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of 6-9 months. Springboard acts as a support system, coach, and cheerleader for working professionals who are ready to level-up or make a major career shift. Students have access to a unique community of industry mentors, thought leaders, and alumni, who are on hand to offer insights, networking opportunities, and support throughout the program and well past graduation. Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through regular video calls.

To apply, applicants fill out an online form, take an aptitude test, then talk with a school representative about their background and motivations. For the data science career track a background in statistics and/or programming is required. For the UX career track, students should have academic or professional background in user design or development-oriented fields.

Before graduation, Springboard’s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition into the tech industry. Springboard's programs are backed with a job guarantee.

Springboard’s support does not end when students graduate. All graduates benefit from an extensive support network encompassing career services, 1:1 career coaching, networking tips, resume assistance, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Since Springboard was founded in 2013, 94% of eligible graduates secured a job within one year, earning an average salary increase of $26,000.

    Fantastic program!

    I just completed the Springboard course and have to say,  I have never made a better decision in my life! 9 months ago I was laid off from my service industry job, wondering what direction I wanted to take my life. Now, I have a full-time position as a UX/UI Designer making almost three times the amount I did previously. I use the skills that I acquired from Springboard daily (in addition to all the great resources they provide.) The curriculum is fantastic, the mentors are top-notch, an...

    Overall Great Program

    The data analytics career track was a great program. Overall the curriculum is well designed it is easy to keep track of your progress. I loved that it was a self-paced program, but that it needed to be completed within 6 months, kept more accountability on it. The 1:1 mentor component was why I chose this program, and it was definitely one of the key factors in making the program so valuable. Having a student advisor that you could also schedule meetings with and email was very helpful ...

    This was a really great course! I learned a lot about Advanced Excel Functions, Data Visualization, SQL and Python. The mentors were really helpful and provided unlimited mentor calls whenever you need help or are stuck on the course. I would recommend this course.

    Springboard was such a great investment into my future. The mentoring aspect of it was the most helpful for me. I really felt supported and empowered by the mentors, coaches, and staff, and got such high quality education and personalized feedback from them. I highly recommend Springboard for anyone looking to transition into UX design!

    Amazing mentors !

    Although I was a little hesitant at the beginning because I wanted to take a course with a renowned University, Springboard gave me the flexibility of working at any time, which I needed, cause I could not commit to night time classes. They also had both Tableau and Power BI in their curriculum which usually for other programs is just one of them, and the thing that I liked the most was the 1 on 1 mentor training, besides unlimited mentoring from very smart people who actually work in th...

    Data Analytics career track

    Started the course on July 2019 and just completed the course today. Great course, I especially appreciated the support by mentor and career coaches. There were times when I could not see the end of the course but with their encouragement and positivity I made it. I feel that I am more confident tackling the technical skillsets necessary for my future job in this area and it has also made me a more creative and flexible person.

    Software Engineering Immersive

    As somebody who has already worked as a Java Backend Engineer, I wasn't sure if I was going to learn much/  The course content was in depth and great (on javascript and python stack in contrast to J2EE), and my mentor was incredible.  He legitimately cared about helping me improve my career.  The job assistance at the end is a little lacking, especially because most of the career coaches are always booked, so you might need to show some initiative in that area.

    Worth the Money

     Springboard was a great program for me. I did the UX/UI Career Track Course. Before this I had absolutely no UX experience and very little design experience. Throughout the course I learned everything I needed to become a UX designer and I feel confident in my skills now. The curriculum is very thorough and all of the projects I worked on allowed me to demonstrate my skills in each step of the UX design process. I would highly recommend this course for anyone making a career cha...
